Good Points

Great setting. Instantly engaging. Well paced. Great use of minimal dialogue to build tension.

Bad Points

The movie lost the plot about 5/8 of the way through and floundered. Very unsatisfying ending.

General Comments

About 30 minutes into this movie I found myself enjoying it so much and was so engaged that I was thinking maybe this is the 'Psycho' of the 21st century. Great suspense and absolutely fantastic setting.

Some good plot twists but the ever changing point of view of this movie left me not knowing which character(s) to empathise with. This diluted the whole emotional ride that could have been so much more engaging if handled differently.

The ending was wholly unsatisfying and there was a stunned incredulous silence in the theatre I was in when the titles began to roll.
